Need help with some applications.

I have some applications that utilize a Ring 0 kernel driver that function as anti-hacking tools. I have not had any luck getting these applications to run correctly because they say the anti-hacking tools can not be loaded properly within the system.

Does Wine support usage of Ring 0 kernel drivers for the NT kernel or is this currently beyond the scope of Wine's capabilities?

you don't run drivers in Wine... you cannot load drivers for a NT kernel when you don't even have a NT kernel.

As far as I know, there is no plans to ever change this. Wine is not a whole OS, and is not intended to be.

Cannot use these in Wine. However, if you can find these drivers for
Linux, Wine might be able to utilize them.

This is not a shortcoming of Wine but it is because of the way that
Operating Systems work and Wine is just a user-space application that
allows Windows calls to be translated to Linux/UNIX calls.
